Picking the right attic ladder

With hundreds of ladder options, it can be tempting to just pick a ladder that looks nice and call it a day. But working with trusted experts like Roof Space Renovators, means you’ll find a ladder that not only looks great, but that will make using your attic a joy.

Some of the things we consider when coming up with options for your attic ladder selection includes:

ceiling height
frame width to fit between trusses (ceiling joists)
intended use (occasional or regular)
timber or aluminium
ceiling composition
Budget
ladder fold-out
stand-out measurements

What do you need to decide?

There are potential pros and cons for every ladder, and it depends on what you want to use the space for. Having a clear idea of what you want to use your new-found roof space for will allow you to start making decisions about access.

Ask yourself the questions below and we can find a ladder that’s right for you.

Is the warranty important? Or is where it is manufactured more important (Australian vs import)?
Is the material it is made out of important to you (timber or aluminium)?
Is the budget important? Our saying is the cheaper the steeper.
For some, the tread width and depth is the most important.
Weight load capacity
